php include() causing fastcgi errors?

[Dano]

I've just doen a quick and dirty (don't even get me started on the time scales he left me) update of a friends website which was working just fine over the weekend, however this morning it's starting throwing errors at us.

It needs a lot of work yet and I was using php includes to get each page to use a single file for navigation, footer and a sidebar area, however it is now throwing the following error:

FastCGI Error
The FastCGI Handler was unable to process the request.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Error Details:
•The FastCGI pool queue is full
•Error Number: 4 (0x80070004).
•Error Description: The system cannot open the file.

HTTP Error 500 - Server Error.
Internet Information Services (IIS)

I am struggling to understand why a php include would cause this unless I am missing some new security feature, more than possible as it has been a while.

<?php include("navigation.html");?>

Is the format of my include statement, it is the only php code used in the entire website.

Any ideas would be great.

Thanks.

My apologies, that's a typo in my post, that is what I have

That's just what I am discovering, wonder if it was an update to the server that has caused it, currently editing all the pages to remove the include aspect.

Will try that later on, just finishing the non-php version to upload, thank crunchie for notepad++ and it's excellent find and replace functions

Ok, definite server issues, phpinfo() is causing the same error, not quite sure why I didn't try that in the first place lol...

Thanks for the input all.

Weird, just got a response from the host tech support informing us that its because we have a windows based server. No explanation as to why its been quite happily working for around a year.
